Vivienne Jolie, the 18-year-old daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, sold original artwork at a Los Angeles street fair this past Saturday. This public appearance comes as she seeks to legaally remove her father's surname from her identity.
The Tulip Fields and the $10-to-$25 price point
Operating under the creative moniker The Tulip Fields, Vivienne Jolie offered a variety of prints, stickers,and birthday cards to the public. According to the report, the pricing for some of these pieces ranged from $10 to $25. The artwork featured whimsical imagery, including a painting of an octopus surrounded by fish and a card depicting a grey mouse with a pink bow and heart.
Vivienne Jolie was supported during the event by her twin brother, Knox, who assisted with the booth setup and documented the day through photography. the siblings maintained a casual appearance, with Vivienne Jolie wearing blue overalls and a black t-shirt, while Knox showcased floral embroidered jeans and colorful hair.
The November 2 deadline for the Jolie-Pitt name change
The art fair coincides with a formal legal process in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. Vivienne Jolie has filed a petition to change her legal name from Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie. As reported, the teenager published a notice of this petition in The Los Angeles Daily Journal once a week for four consecutive weeks between July 24 and August 14.
The court documents list the reason for this change as "personal." The legal process allows for any opposing parties to submit written objections before the final hearing scheduled for November 2. If no objections are raised, a judge is expected to approve the request, finalizing the removal of the Pitt name.
The May 2024 Playbill and a family-wide trend
This legal move is not an isolated incident but part of a broader pattern among the children of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Vivienne Jolie previously signaled this transition in May 2024,when she was listed simply as "Vivienne Jolie" in the Playbill for the Broadway production of The Outsiders, where she served as a producer alongside her mother.
The report notes that Vivienne Jolie is following the lead of her three older siblings, who have similarly filed petitions to drop their father's surname. This collective distancing suggests a systemic breakdown in the relationship between the children and Brad Pitt, transforming a private family rift into a series of public legal filings.
San Sebastian and the "ultimate betrayal" claim
While Vivienne Jolie manages her art and legal affairs in California, Brad Pitt was recently spotted in Spain attending the 74th San Sebastian International Film Festival. The distance between the father and daughter is not just geographical ; a source told the Daily Mail that Brad Pitt views the current rift with his children as "deeply painful" and considers Angelina Jolie's role in the situation to be the "ultimate betrayal."
Conversely, a source close to Angelina Jolie told People that the 51-year-old actress simply wants "everyone to heal." This leaves several critical points unverified: the specific "whole truth" alluded to by Jolie's camp remains undisclosed, and the report does not include a direct statement from Brad Pitt regarding his daughter's specific petition to change her name.
